[Variety] Beast Almighty - Ep 2


Beast is making a lot of wishes come true in this episode! Some lucky fans get to have a signed CD of Beast delivered directly to their door steps by non other than the boys themselves. =)

And they are not simply delivering the CDs, they are granting special requests sent by the fans too. I think being rookies, these boys are really working hard to be closer to their fans which is very nice and very effective if I may say. ^^

Shin Min Ah is the 9 Tailed Fox


After all the rumors that came out guessing who will be Lee Seung Gi's leading lady in "My Girlfriend is a Gumiho", the final lady is announced! It's actress Shin Min Ah! I'm happy with the choice because Shin Min Ah is a beautiful actress with a mysterious aura. I'm sure she'll play the role well. =) 2NE1's Sandara Park and Shin Se Kyung were some of the girls that were previously rumored to take on the role.

Shin Se-kyung is out and Shin Mina is in for the upcoming drama My Girlfriend Is A Gumiho. Phew, this drama has undergone a ridiculous amount of casting speculation, rumors, and changes, hasn’t it? Seriously, I’m almost tired about the news and it has barely even begun. (Shin Se-kyung had been reported with the most finality, but that was preceded by a lot of rumors about Sandara Park and Jeon Ji-hyun as well.)

In My Girlfriend Is A Gumiho, Shin Mina plays a gumiho who has been asleep for the past 500 years, who is released when a seal is broken, and a romance ensues with a human played by Lee Seung-ki. The drama may have some competition with Gumiho’s Revenge, which is another gumiho-centered show starring Han Eun-jung that is planning for a broadcast later this summer. However, as the always-hilarious Hong sisters writing pair are behind this drama, I’d expect this one to deliver lots more wacky hijinks (and pop-culture parodies and catchphrases, to boot).

This is Shin Mina’s first drama in three years, since 2007’s thriller series Devil with Uhm Tae-woong and Joo Ji-hoon. Prior to that, she starred with Rain in A Love To Kill in 2005. Although I was perfectly fine with Shin Se-kyung, Shin Mina also fits the part well — though I can’t help but wonder if the pairing will seem too much like a noona with her kid brother. Well, I’ll stay optimistic.

Star Golden Bell

Hosts: Ji Suk Jin, Jeon Hyun Mo, Lee Chae Young

Guests: T-Ara, Epik High's Tablo and Mithra, DooJoon, Narsha, LeeJoon, etc.

In this episode, the host take notice of DooJoon and LeeJoon more and I'm so glad! They've been on the show for a long time but was often ignored. I like both boys. ^^

T-Ara is promoting their new song so all the members are present. It's nice to see Tablo still very much in love, hope Mithra will also find a partner in life soon. =)

Kim Taehyun is taking a break from his TV shows so we won't be seeing him for a while. Taking his seat for now is Lee Joon. Somehow the guessing game with Seojung is not as much fun anymore. I hope they bring back the translate in English in the answer anything segment.

[Radio] C.N. Blue in Sukira


This was C.N. Blue's guesting in Super Junior's Kiss Radio when they first debuted last February. I can't believe that they won their first #1 within two weeks of their debut. Amazing band, amazing talent and amazing boys! =)

They're all so tensed but still cute. Hope they will be able to get comfortable with the entertainment business and hope to see them in more shows to come. ^^

[Variety] Haha Mong Show w/ Daesung & Seungri


It's the first episode of Haha Mong Show! I really enjoyed watching this show and I don't understand why it got low ratings on it's Korean airing. Probably because the viewers got tired of waiting since it got delayed a few weeks due to cancellation of all variety shows on TV. But nonetheless, it's a very entertaining show and I'm looking forward to more in the future. =)

The main MCs of the show are as the title said it, Haha and MC Mong with Kim Shin Young. Regular guests are Shinee's Key, SNSD's Sooyoung and Hyoyeon, BEG's GaIn and Narsha, and Mblaq's G.O. The show's very first guests are Big Bang's Daesung and Seungri.

I loooove the music video made by Daesung and Seungri, it's totally hilarious! ^^ Even their talks are fun and interesting.

Another segment other than the studio recording is the mother of a day where Haha and Mong will go to an idol's place to become their moms for a day. Their first babies are 2AM. To help being 2AM's moms are Kara's Gyuri and Hara.

[Variety] Global Talk Show - Episode 155


Guests for this episode: Jung Juri, Yujin, etc.

I think it's becoming a new concept of the show to add another panelist on the other side to hear more views other than that of the regular lady panelists. It has become more interesting and more enjoyable to watch. ^^

In this episode, they invited male foreigners that are also living in Korea at the moment. Everyone got different jobs and some even has/had Korean partners. =)

Super Junior's Role Model is Shinhwa


I've noticed a big change in Heechul with their comeback, he has grown more matured and is acting like a real hyung that he is. I'm also happy that he and Lee Teuk are working hand in hand to make Super Junior a stronger group than before. Shinhwa is definitely a great role model for groups that want to stay together in Kpop. =)

Super Junior has recently come back with their 4th full album ‘Bonamana’. In an interview conducted in Apgujung recently, Super Junior shared their thoughts about their journey since their debut and their future plans.

◇Our role model is Shinhwa

This is their 6th year together since their debut in 2005, and they have gone on to become veterans respected by the junior idol groups. After their debut up until now, they have been enjoying great popularity and have remained at the top of their game, but they have often been troubled by the team’s position and identity. Leader Lee Teuk and Heechul, the eldest in the group, both see Shinhwa as their role model. Heechul said, “I want to have the status like that of the Shinhwa hyungs. I don’t have the intention of fighting it out with the juniors. It’d be good if we could be like Shinhwa, doing well as sonbae idols and taking good care of the juniors at the same time.”

Enjoying great popularity in Thailand, China, Taiwan and other Asian countries, Super Junior has expressed their plans to officially start their activities in Japan. Super Junior’s sub-group K.R.Y (Kyuhyun, Ryeowook, Yesung) will be holding a concert in Japan in August this year.

[Variety] Invincible Youth - Episode 20


The girls are experiencing hands on farming. Instead of just taking care of their idol village as they want to, they are now learning the right way to do it. Coming from the experts, the girls are taking notes on how to do real farming.

The first group went to learn the right way to grow chickens. They also went to a currently active hands on farming experience farm where they accept guests to do farming on their own. They can also do this with idol village if they learn correctly.

The other group went to visit the old man in the movie "Old Partner" that's a close friend of a cow. They went to learn how to teach the cow to work. They also made a promise at the end to continue with farming and do their best. It still makes me sad that some of G7 will be replaced. =(

Lee Hyori in Yoo Hee Yeol's Sketch Book

Talk w/ Lee Hyori


Lee Hyori ft. Daesung - How Did We Get (My favorite song from the whole album, this song is so beautiful. I admit that Hyori is not the best singer out there, but she did well in this song. =)



credits: HyoleeSubs@youtube

Lee Hyori has proven time and again that she's the reigning queen of Kpop as of the moment. With all the comebacks of Rain and numerous idols, she may not have made a sweep of all the top spot in music shows week after week, but we can't deny that there's just no one like her. =)

[Variety] Beast Almighty - Ep 1


MTV's Beast Almighty featuring idol group Beast! The show is patterned to the movie Bruce Almighty with Jim Carrey where he grants every wish. Here, Beast will have a mission to grant one wish in each episode.

First wish is from their manager. He wants to get a rest at least for a day (I think it's only for 6 hours since each member get to be manager only for one hour). From the leader, DooJoon to the last member, each will get one hour to post as their manager.

The members experienced how hard it is to do a manager's job. He wakes them up in the morning, drives them to the salon, call for food, and takes care of them in the scheduled location.

Star Golden Bell

Hosts: Ji Suk Jin, Jeon Hyun Mo, Lee Chae Young

Guests: Kara's Gyuri, Seunghyun, Nicole, Jiyoung and Hara, Beast's Doojoon, M4, etc.

Kara is complete in this episode. Nice to see Nicole in the guests area, but sadly she wasn't shown much since she wasn't able to play well in the different segments. =S

This is also the first episode where the scandal about Kim Taehyun came out. Which is why the most awaited battle of wits between Sujeong and him was not shown. =(

[Variety] Shinee's Hello Baby - Ep 12


It's the last episode of Shinee's Hello Baby. T_T To commemorate their last day together, they made a time capsule for Yoogeun. Something that will make Yoogeun remember that once when he was young, he had 5 appas that played with him. ^^

Jonghyun's picture book is really nice. All the memories with Yoogeun were saved in pictures that they can treasure. Then they prepared a surprise party for Jonghyun's birthday! =)

Then it's time to go. I can't help but cry with them because even if Yoogeun is such a little boy, you can see that he's sad too. T_T I think Hello Baby did help Shinee learn to be more responsible by taking care of a little boy. They're still young but slowly they will learn to become men. =)

The cast of Cinderella's Sister are the guests for this episode of Happy Together! Moon Geun Young, Chun Jung Myung, Seo Woo, Taecyeon probably have tight schedules which is why they shot the episode in the morning which is unusual since they usually do it at night.

Moon Geun Young is still cute as ever and I'm glad to see that she's enjoying Park Myung Soo's comedy. =D I'll sure watch the drama after it ends in Korea and I hope I'll see better bonding with the characters than they are in real life. ^^

New MV Releases

There's a whole lot of Kpop comebacks this month and with that came all the new songs and great music videos! So here are some of my favorite so far... =)

Big Bang - Tell Me Goodbye - this MV is just amazing! I know we all miss Big Bang, and giving us this MV just makes me want to see them comeback really soon!!! I love how it's made and the new concept of the boys, I mean they're men now, so manly! ^^


credits: isha012093@youtube


MBLAQ - Y - G.O. is a pretty boy after all without the facial hair. =P What I like about this song is it's catchy and just sticks with you the whole day. The MV is nice too minus the shooting scene (which I'm glad they're taking out) because watching a young person shoot a girl he loved just scares me (what's happening to the world?). Anyways, aside from that, Joon did well in his acting. =)


credits: AznSamManTV@youtube


There's also C.N. Blue's "Love" , love the song but the MV is pretty simple for me. But they're a band after all so they're focusing more on that fact. I hope they'll also make a MV for "Love Light", love love love that song! ^_^

And finally Wonder Girls' "2 Different Tears" which is like the trademark Wonder Girls song, catchy and bouncy, lol! XD But the JYP just freaks me out in the MV with that blond hair, he's like a Wonder Girls wannabe. =S

[Variety] Invincible Youth - Episode 19


I love that screen capture above. Our lovely G7, wish Kim Shin Young was there with them and that would've been perfect! With the news of Yuri, Sunny and Hyunah leaving the show, it just makes me so sad. Let's enjoy the show while G7 is still complete. ~

Kim Tae Woo is not present in this episode so Chief called for not just one but two back ups, Super Junior's Shindong and Noh Yoomin. The two men helped in getting firewood for the burning they will do for the lunar new year that night.

The other team went to grocery shop for ingredients. They are also in charge of cooking the food for the feast.
